Go straight to the point and explain your purpose:
Chief Zheng has been transferred to Wenwu Temple as a guard by County Magistrate Zhang!
The time has come to investigate the cause of Li Dashan's death!
The old Taoist priest asked Feng Patou to wait for him. He went into the house to get the food, and then came out again.
Jin An saw that the old Taoist priest was dawdling so much, so he asked the old Taoist priest what he had brought with him to eat.
The old Taoist priest chuckled, and patted his treasure gently, and then said with all his treasures: "The Bagua mirror in the palm, the soul-summoning bell, the rope for binding the body, the evil talisman, the ancestral Yin-Yang compass, the seal of the Lord of Hell...
"There are also incense candles, paper money, and a handful of rice for the dead."
Jin An was slightly surprised.
Even Feng Baotou looked surprised, looking at the Tai Chi Bagua bag carried by the old Taoist priest on his shoulders.
“Taoist Master Chen’s seemingly small Tai Chi Bagua bag is really a treasure bag.”
Feng Baotou said in surprise.
The old Taoist priest gave a smug smile, and he was almost in a state of ecstasy. The older a person reaches middle age, the less capable he is, and the more he likes others to give him a thumbs up and say, "You are awesome! You are a real man!"
After Feng Baotou finished speaking, he couldn't help but asked out of curiosity: "It's easy to understand that Master Chen carries something with him to ward off evil and avoid evil."
"But why do you carry antidote pills with you? And a handful of dead man's rice?"
"What is a dead man's meal again?"
The three of them walked and talked in the dark night.
By this time, the number of pedestrians on the street had gradually become sparse.
The old Taoist priest had an enigmatic and mysterious face, like a gangster. It frightened Feng, the most powerful of the three most powerful arresters in Chang County, to the point where he was so stunned that he completely believed him.
The words of an old Taoist priest.
The old Taoist priest said proudly: "I am a wandering Taoist priest. Occasionally I encounter people who move graves, open coffins, go into the deep Kanyu mountains and rivers to determine the yin and yin houses, etc. And these places are often the most likely to encounter poisonous miasma and corpse gas, so
You should always keep some detoxifying pills with you that can remove poisons and avoid poisonous miasma."
"Besides, the rice of the dead is not cooked rice for the living."
"Chang County is located in the south. Among the Bagua, the south is Li. The south belongs to the Bingding fire and is guarded by the Suzaku. The Suzaku is a sacred bird with strong yang energy, so the cooked rice cooked by the Li fire cannot be eaten by the dead."
The old Taoist priest shook his head and said, then reached into the robe hanging on his shoulder and took out a handful of uncooked rice.
The particles are crystal clear and plump.
The old Taoist priest continued: "And the handful of uncooked rice in my hand, Taoist Taoist, is the rice for the dead found from the graves. After the dead eat it, it is a waste anyway, so it is better to make it cheaper for me, Taoist. Of course, this
Raw rice cannot be cooked, and it is not for living people to eat."
"My old friend, this rice of death is just one kind of rice of death. The most important thing is that it is easy to carry. There is another kind of rice of death, which is upside-down rice."
"There are often old people who seriously reprimand ignorant children not to eat the rice in the bowl upside down, because this is called the reversal of yin and yang. This is almost similar to the saying that bending down late at night to look behind you from the crotch, maybe there will be an extra pair of feet.
It all comes from the inversion of yin and yang."
"This dead person's meal is mainly used to have a good discussion with the dead person, hoping to leave the Yangzhai voluntarily."
…
"Attsu!"
"Attsu!"
"It's two o'clock in the morning, the weather is dry, so be careful with the candles."
"clang"
The three of them were walking in Changxian County, which was already completely dark. The watchman's voice sounded. It turned out that while they were walking and chatting, the curfew time of one to three o'clock had already arrived.
"Hey, who are you?"
“Why are you still walking the streets under curfew?”
Two watchmen were on duty, and as soon as they passed a corner, they saw three people at the end of the dark street corner walking on the street during curfew, and they immediately yelled nervously.
When the three of them approached, the two watchmen saw clearly that the man walking in the front was none other than Capt. Feng, one of the three most powerful arresters in Chang County.
Taking a closer look, they also saw Mr. Jin'an, who was now famous in Chang County.
"It turns out to be Capt. Feng."
"It's so late to arrest Mr. Feng, but are you still investigating the case?"
The two watchmen asked cautiously.
Feng Battou explained a few words casually, and the two watchmen quickly gave way to let Feng Battou and his party pass.
Chang County Prison is not far from the Yamen.
As we get closer to the prison, the number of night watchmen we encounter along the way begins to become more and more frequent.
Perhaps because the temple fair is about to come, there has been a lot of chaos in Chang County recently, so security has been tightened a lot at night.
…
With Capt. Feng leading the way, the group went unimpeded and descended into the prison, which was a dark and humid environment with torches burning on both sides of the corridor.
It was a quiet night, but there were still people entering the prison. Naturally, there was a lot of movement in the prison.
In the cells on both sides of the corridor, there were immediately prisoners in prison uniforms, stretching out their arms, crying and begging to be let out, crying in fear that there was something unclean in the prison!
Each of these prisoners was disheveled, in a daze, and had irregular blood flow on their faces. It looked like they had been mentally frightened for a long time, had not slept well, and had some mental problems.
"No matter what the quarrel is, no matter what the quarrel is, just be honest with me."
"Didn't you see that our Lord Feng Baotou specially invited a Taoist priest today? Feng Baotou and this Taoist priest are here specially to exorcise evil spirits for you."
There were guards who were busy flattering, vying to show off in front of Capt. Feng, and using their sheathed swords to hit the arms sticking out of the cell.
"Captain Feng, we brothers are really unjust. We really didn't know about Li Dashan's death, and we were not the ones who killed Li Dashan. Please Capt Feng, please help us plead for mercy from County Magistrate Zhang. I, Sun Fuzhen,
It’s unjust!”
"Captain Feng, we are wronged!"
When I walked to one of the cells, the person in that cell didn't shout like other prisoners that there was trouble in the prison and wanted to change places... but instead shouted that they were wronged?
Jin An and the old Taoist priest couldn't help but look at the cell a few more times.
Feng Baotou, who was leading the way, seemed to see the doubts and curiosity of the two people, and explained: "These people are the guards who were on duty in the prison on the day Li Dashan died suddenly and mysteriously, as well as a cell leader.
.”
"With the death of Li Dashan, Magistrate Zhang was furious, and his anger has not subsided until now. Although there is no direct evidence that they participated in the killing of Li Dashan, no one dared to release these people without Magistrate Zhang's personal instructions, so they have been detained.
Now.”
In the prison with an unpleasant smell, the group quickly arrived at the deepest part of the prison, the cell where Li Dashan died violently.
"Li Dashan has been dead for so many days, where is his body now?"
Arriving at the door of the cell, the old Taoist priest suddenly asked.
Capt. Feng was stunned, but he responded quickly: "Because the weather is getting warmer, it is difficult to store the body. When Capt. Zheng said that the case had been solved and all of Li Dashan's accomplices had been eliminated, Li Dashan's body had been burned."
"Burned?"
"Has Daozhang Chen discovered anything?" Capt. Feng's expression became solemn.
